I would flash kk that's much safer than B118 or B120 and from there Hyd52Rom KK that's the safest method I think.

ROM flashing with KK

Hey
I need a unlocked bootloader for ROMs like CM 10.2 and I don't want to flash B120 because of the brick risk. So can I just flash KK beta, this has an unlocked bootloader, and from there a custom ROM? Or can I flash KK and than B125 again so my bootloader is still unlocked and flash from there a Custom ROM?
thanks for your help

Yes, technically it should work. I've never tried it this way tho.
I installed b118 then to kitkat. Then i reverted to B125 with unlocked bootloader.
I think your way should work and may be more safe since we have barely any records of people hard bricking with kitkat.
Okay thanks
But is that for the custom Rom irrelevant from which firmware I install it?

1. If you want a kitkat custom rom, unlock with kitkat and install surdu's 2.3.7 twrp for kitkat.
2. If you want a jellybean custom rom, i would recommend to unlock with b118 or b120 cn and install surdu's 2.3.3 twrp for jellybean.
Technically, if you loaded a jellybean custom rom on kitkat twrp recovery it could work but you might run into some issues.

[Interesting] General Bootloader Unlock for ALL Huawei Phones!

Appearantly the K3V2 phones can be easily unlocked, no need for B118 or other chinese firmwares anymore!
1. Make sure you have a working adb connection to the PC
2. Boot to fastboot/bootloader either via the command adb reboot bootloader or by restarting the phone and holding down vol down+power for about 10 seconds.
3. Send this command to the phone via adb:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Note: Factory reset may or may not happen, so backup everything just incase, altough it has been reported that it does not happen by local xda users
It has been reported that this method works for unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP is successful.
According to huaweiblog.de it has been tested multiple times on P2, P6, and the Ascend Mate and it has always been successful.

Make it a difference? I mean for most of the Custom ROMs you need to be on Chinese Firmware if I understand everything right?

You only need to be in Chinase firmware becouse it's unlocked, and you cant install Custom ROM without phone been unlocked..

As I understand when you flash a chinese rom it will run that command before the installation with the same key, but I may be wrong. Someone should try it and see if they can flash twrp afterwards when they havent been on any chinese firmwares yet.
I would try but I don't want to risk my phone.

Yea, it seems really cool! Much less risky compared to installing B118cn or 120cn! And much less work compared to flashing kitkat beta.
Can anyone confirm if this works?

The lock command does not work for me, but the unlock command seems to work. But I tested it with B125 and already unlocked bootloader. But it seems to work. No error.
Now just someone with locked bootloader should test it.

I just wanted to test that but my phone says its already unlocked, too.
There was a thread here, where I says that the bootloader is unlocked but its encrypted so you can't flash anything.

Yes, even "unlocked" the bootloader checks for a Huawei signature and you can't flash anything custom. The question is if this particular unlock gets rid of this check as China Firmwares do.
I think I'm gonna try it this night and report back.
So you can't install TWRP for unlocked firmware?

Maybe, incase of the honor 2, this enabled the flashing of boot.img but not the bootloader.img. Dont try to flash twrp to boot partition.
Maybe some things are different on P6, but I'd doubt

Well, there are no reports of bricked devices by using this method, but be caucious. It will also do a factory reset, so make a backup or something before running the command
I will make a backup than run the unlock commands and after that I will try do flash TWRP with fastboot.

Unlike that other thread, this one actually puts firmware version on the title.
Single post on thread doesn't actually make that B132 thread in any way.

Update b132 is an old firmware. It is actually b124 with a modified build.prop to give the impression it is a new firmware. Any perceived improvements are merely placebo.

How to do a clean install on Huawei P6

Hello Everyone,
I am new user of Huawei P6. I would like to know how to do a clean install as i couldn't find enough lead on this till now. Is there some tool similar to SP Flash Tool which we use to Mediatek devices to do a clean install? Please help!

Hey and welcome to this device.
When you have to do a clean install you go into TWRP Recovery and go to wipe than to advanced and wipe everything except internal and external storage.

Thanks for the reply. Just another question, i am currently on B132, so if i wish to go back to B125, is it the same SD card update approach that i have to use for downgrade as well?

Yes you can do it with the system update app or with the three button method.

That's one and the same.
Official Link?
Hi,
I found this link,
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=17022
Now, it says B111, so how come B125 and B132 came in and the official site has no mention of it?
They're leaks.

They are better than B111. Try B125

Yes you can but maybe update first to B120CN but I don't think that makes a difference.
